He's been playing too much golf! Now that winter is upon the great state of MN he has time to reach out to his show friends!
Glad to see you back my friend! BTW, your LHS and argyles look sharp...

RTP, it's too true that I've been playing a lot of golf this summer, still didn't win my clubs championship though. I wanted to thank you and Uncle Mac especially because without you guys and the other classy members of this forum I wouldn't have such wonderful shoes to wear as I walk this earth like Cain, determined to get back in Gods good graces and to be just a little bit better than I usually am.

I can't believe these are no longer available. Like all the BB Alden shell models, it's a classic. I wish I hadn't gotten rid of any of them (this shoe in black, straight tip in black, #8 LHS, argh...)

Do ya'll think waiting for an indy boot with the commando sole would be worth it? Or should I just go with cork?

I wear the hell out of my CXL Indys with Neo Cork. It's an excellent sole in most situations, but I wish I had the Commando sole when I'm out on a hike or something and encounter slippery rocks or other difficult surfaces. The Neo Cork is very durable and comfortable though.

BB didn't drop Alden. If anything, the opposite is true. My understanding is that Alden wasn't thrilled about sales being offered on their products during BB sales, promotions and corporate events, etc. That said, I don't believe the relationship has ended, as certain models still get stocked periodically.
